About this episode

Ever looked at your partner and wondered if they're from a different planet?! If you’re nodding a big HELL YEAH right now, you’re not alone! The differences between partners can be a huge source of tension and discord… but they can also be a powerful source of connection and intimacy. Lucky for us, today’s podcast guest, bestselling author John Gray, is here to help us decipher those differences so we can better understand our partner, make our differences work for us (not against us), and create a more conscious and thriving relationship.

John is the author of the most well-known relationship book of all time, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus.

It has been translated into 45 languages in more than 100 countries and continues to be a bestseller to this day.

His approach is holistic, combining specific communication techniques with healthy nutritional choices that create the brain and body chemistry required for lasting health, happiness and romance… and WOW does he drop some romantic wisdom in this conversation!
